Unrequited spider love
This is a pair of flea jumping spiders (Naphrys pulex). I found the male first, on a pine tree, and he led me to the female. He was on the hunt for a mate, but she was more interested in a meal than company
Ultimately, he lived to woo another day, so I'd still call it a win

It's hard sometimes with macro to convey the scale of the animals I'm photographing. These little spiders measure around 2mm long, quite tiny! #spider #spiders #MacroPhotography
